Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The pNeuton has two functional alarms that are always active: a low oxygen inlet pressure alarm that activates at pressures less than 30 psi and a patient-disconnect alarm that sounds when a disconnect situation is sensed by the ventilator.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The internal control logic requires a flow of 3 L/min. The additional 1 L/min on the Airon pNeu-ton model A is to power the patient-disconnect alarm.
